Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Peoria Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Peoria Heights has a population of 4,750, and sits within a larger regional market that serves a metro area of 2.7+ million people. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to measured, ongoing demand for home improvements and selective new construction rather than a building boom. In a temperate local climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 33.00 inches of annual rainfall—homeowners and contractors prioritize materials that manage water, stabilize grades, and support year-round outdoor use. That means reliable bulk supplies like soil mixes, base materials, sand, mulch, and aggregates are important for driveways, patios, drainage swales, garden beds, and erosion control. Because local sourcing reflects regional geology, choosing the right material sizes and textures matters for compaction, permeability, and long-term performance in this environment.Popular Projects in Peoria Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Peoria Heights Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Peoria Heights.
Start with the project goal: drainage, driveway base, plant beds, or grading. Consider durability, how the material compacts, and local climate effects; materials sourced regionally can vary in color and texture. Use our material calculator and quiz to compare options and contact our team for guidance—we can help match the right aggregate (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) group to your needs.
Central Illinois sees freeze-thaw cycles, wet springs, and cold winters; choose materials that resist frost heave and shed water where drainage is important. Local soil often contains clay that holds water, so you may need a more permeable base for driveways and beds. Regional sourcing means material behavior may differ from photos, so plan for local testing and adjustments.
Calculate area in square feet and multiply by desired depth in feet to get cubic feet; divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then use our calculator to convert cubic yards to tons for the specific material. Examples and a visual calculator are available on our site to reduce guesswork, and you can always contact us for a review. Keep our 3-ton minimum order in mind when planning small projects.
Late spring through early fall is usually most reliable—ground is less likely to be frozen and rain delays are less frequent. Spring can be muddy and winter deliveries risk frost and driveability issues, so plan accordingly. We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST if you need faster timing.
Expect delivery by a contracted dump truck, typically tri-axle, and choose a clear drop location with safe access for the driver. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but note drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. Remove vehicles and obstacles, note overhead wires, and add delivery instructions in Order Notes to help the driver place material where you want it.
Most private-property deliveries do not require a city permit, but street closures, curbside dumping, or blocking traffic may need local approval. Check with Peoria Heights city offices and your HOA before delivery if you expect to use public right-of-way, block the street, or alter drainage. When in doubt, contact our team and your local permitting office early in planning.
Choose materials that support proper slope and drainage to direct water away from structures and reduce freeze-related damage. Permeable bases help manage runoff in spring, while stable, well-graded materials resist rutting and plow damage in winter. Discuss site grading and local snow-plow practices with a contractor to pick a material that balances drainage, durability, and maintenance needs.
All natural aggregates settle and may need periodic top-ups, especially after freeze-thaw cycles or heavy rains. Expect to regrade, add weed control, or top-dress high-traffic areas every few years depending on use. For longer-lived surfaces, proper base preparation and edge restraints reduce movement and maintenance needs.
You can get an instant price online for most materials and request a delivery date during checkout. Contact our team as soon as possible to modify orders; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If the haul has already been scheduled, modifications may be limited, so notify us early for the best outcome.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
